If you want to be a billionaire, then think like one, act like one, and live like one because there’s no other greater joy than having financial freedom and a life free of debts, All thanks to Mr carlos cause he made me who I am today through forex trade. He has helped me a lot with his trading strategies which helps me to earn $12,550 weekly. I really appreciate it and can't help but let others know about it. it is so suitable anyone can trade from anywhere and anytime, reach out to Mr. Carlos on 1nstergram Att *carlos_1uptrades* his indeed a God Sent.

If you wanna be successful, you most take responsibility for your emotions and not place the blame on others. In addition to make you feel more guilty about your faults, pointing the finger at others will only serve to increase your sense of personal accountability. There's always a risk in every investment, yet people still invest and succeed.

As someone who has owned several nightclubs, you're so correct! I can't stand bars. Welcome to adulting, much less drama. By the way, I still have friends that are my age and they still partying like we did 18 years ago. They're a mess, and nothing has changed. Same drama. I say friends, but there are some people that I had to let go from my life. They spewed negativity and no matter how much advise you give,they don't take it. I realized that some people will have you distracted with them, and they could care less if you're not getting done what you need to in order to create and maintain success. Some people just never want to grow up.

My friend, if I was to list the many mistakes I have made over the years it would truly be difficult if not impossible. My top biggest mistakes were 1. As an artist (I am a professional photographer); I didn't understand I have to be a business man first and an artist second. 2. Respect your body and the health of you mind (like you I partied very hard and ran with the worst persons for my success). 3. I never had a mentor, I thought I knew everything and I didn't keep up with the changes within my industry and actually refused new ideas. The worst being the digital age in photography. And there are some other very hard truths within my experience. But since I suffered a major heart attack and spent almost 3 months on my back in the hospital, I had that major life experience you were talking about and I sought out a mentor to help me build correctly for my future.. Patrick you are that person, thank you for what you do for us who wish to make drastic changes to the way we think and starting as a new and recovering entrepreneur who now wants to do things correctly for my future and my new family.

Sales and incremental learning of the things you need to know that's two-three steps above where you're at. I'm in year two, finally made it to 10k MRR and I know what lies directly ahead for 15k and 20k MRR.

"Living the dream too early" This is exactly what happened to me in 2013. I was rolling and hitting the top spots in NYC. Life was great for a bit then POW! reality knocked me down. I eventually got back up but although that was a big mistake, I'm happy that happened. It taught me a lesson and have made better more mature money decisions since then. When the money starts coming in big... Its good to go out and have a good time but also not forgetting to stay focused.

Thank you so much, brother. At 28 years of age, and having tried so many occupations, I find it difficult to choose which one I should focus on as my personal business career. But considering everything that you said, I realize that I am doing almost everything backward. Skipping around between different business occupations and trying to lead before I know how to follow, are two of my many mistakes. I've been watching A LOT of motivational entrepreneurial videos, lately, and this by far is the only one that answered ALL of my questions of why I'm not succeeding, yet. Awesome video!!! Thanks again, and CONGRATULATIONS for success!!!

Baby entrepreneur here. Been doing this about nine months so far and I have already made quite a few mistakes. (and more to come) thanks for saving me a few I might have fallen into. My biggest mistake (so far) that I made until about two months ago was the trying to sell too many things. I tried to do animation, app development, graphic design, commissions, youtube, twitch streaming... the list goes on! Since then I have narrowed down to just Print-On-Demand products (t-shirts, custom notebooks, etc.) and I feel like I'm beginning to grow. (Which may be unfounded since I have yet to make a sale in 2019. ) I've subscribed and I'm looking forward to seeing more great videos in the future!

I appreciate every video you make for us, cuz it's obvious you look at this stuff here as something you can do to help others. That's my goal too - to find a way to help others! I'm a young entrepreneur now, 3 mounts from the beginning of my business. I still don't know exactly what am I doing, I'm trying to figure it out, but everything I found on you channel helps to do that. Thank you for that! I just hope someday I'll be able to give you some value in return! Keep up with the great work, man!
